When we get into trouble, the fight-flight system turns on and the cerebral cortex- that's the fight-flight system- is the limbic system.
Ever wondered why people sometimes bond with their captors? In this intriguing episode of 'Power of the Mind', hosts Gregory Struve, Elicia Morigeau, and guest Merilee Mills tackle the fascinating phenomenon of Stockholm Syndrome. They kick off with the infamous bank robbery case that coined the term, then delve into how we all experience minor forms of this syndrome in our daily lives.
But that's not all – the conversation takes a deeper dive into our brain's fight-flight response when we face danger. From the instinctual reactions of fight and flight to the lesser-known fawn and freeze responses, this episode sheds light on how our minds and bodies react under stress. Domestic violence scenarios are examined, highlighting how victims often try to placate their abusers to avoid further harm.
The hosts also explore the attachment system, explaining why individuals might become attached to someone causing them harm. True crime enthusiasts will find this episode particularly captivating as it touches on the psychological motivations behind violent acts. With a mix of scientific insights and real-world examples, this episode promises to be both informative and thought-provoking. Tune in to 'Power of the Mind' for a deep dive into the complexities of human behavior and emotions.
